Territorial Boundaries
- The municipality has specifically defined boundaries marked by points starting from the middle of Canmanaga Bridge on the Carson-Trinidad road.
- Boundaries are described by straight lines connecting marked geographic points including hills, lot corners, and forestry project corners.
- The detailed boundary description ensures precise demarcation, based on an engineer-prepared sketch dated March 1956 at a scale of 1:50,000.
